For two incredible days hundreds of media celebrities, top comic book creators, writers, exhibitors, retailers, and Cosplayers will peaceably but riotously occupy the building to entertain and edify thousands of NYC’s coolest fans!

STAN LEE MARRIES MIKE CARBONARO! Not really, he’s only officiating for MIKE and his Cosplay Bride, but join us on March 10th at 7:30pm for a special Friday night VIP Press Event on the 18th Floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania!

STAN LEE is the most famous comic book creator in the known universe; a title well earned for his many contributions to pop culture. Along with his top artists including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Don Heck, Stan “The Man” co-created many modern myths as Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics such as: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Hulk, the X-Men, Black Panther, Thor, Iron Man, the Avengers, Ant-Man, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Silver Surfer!

FRANK MILLER (Appearing Sunday Only; Sponsored by Dave and Adam’s Card World and Metropolis Gallery NYC) set the comics world ablaze in the 80s as a revolutionary artist and writer with his groundbreaking runs on Daredevil, Elektra: Assassin, Ronin, and Batman: The Dark Night Returns. His creator-owned titles Sin City and 300 have produced multiple printings, acclaim, and several motion picture adaptations, some of which he co-directed.
